Using Normal Maps - Part 7

2016-01-1205:05

In this movie, you experiment with a scene based on the low poly column you created with the help of carefully applied normal maps. The scene has 60 such columns and a few additional models created the same way to make a full architectural structure.

Using Normal Maps - Part 4

2016-01-1213:01

In this movie, you unwrap the texture coordinates on the low-poly column, in preparation to extracting normal maps.

Using Normal Maps - Part 3

2016-01-1210:33

In this movie, you extract low-poly models from their respective high-poly counterparts.

Using Normal Maps - Part 2

2016-01-1210:31

In this movie, you explore the high poly components that make the various parts of the column. You also learn about Floater objects, which are meant to provide a very efficient technique to projecting normal maps.

Using Normal Maps - Part 1

2016-01-1209:37

In this tutorial, you learn to use normal maps to provide detail without adding geometry. It's a technique used mostly for gaming but can also be applied to architectural visualization or in any situation where interactive playback is required.

Using TextPlus

2015-10-1312:59

In this tutorial, you learn to wire TextPlus entities to objects and scene parameters to read and update values such as time, transforms and animation controllers.

Using TextPlus

2015-10-1312:22

In this tutorial, you learn to animate TextPlus entities globally but also by separating paragraphs, lines, words and even individual characters. You do so by applying various animation presets to test the concept.

Using TextPlus

2015-10-1311:48

In this tutorial, you experiment with TextPlus, which replaces the old text tool in 3ds Max. you learn some basic functionality and about the ease of use that enables you to create quick and easy text elements.

Using Animation Offset Controls and Presets

2015-09-0115:33

In this tutorial, you learn about Animation Offset Controls and Animation Presets, which are tools that make it easy to induce an offset so that the same animation does not occur simultaneously on multiple objects.

Using the Voxel Solver with the Skin Modifier

2015-09-0111:05

In this tutorial, you learn to use the Voxel Solver, which gives you a much better start-up skin solution where most of the skinning is already properly established. From that point, you only need to add the finishing touches.

Cleaning Up Imported Data

2015-07-0213:08

In this tutorial, you learn to clean up data imported or linked from other 3D applications. This includes using Layers or Selection Sets. You also learn to correct material and mapping problems, as well as fix lights and cameras inaccuracies.

Linking a Revit File

2015-07-0211:24

In this tutorial, you learn to link a Revit model to 3ds Max. You learn about the link presets that you can use to sort the imported models one way or another. You also learn how to update the 3ds Max scene once the model in Revit has been modified.

Using the Design Ribbon

2015-07-0209:54

In this tutorial, you explore the Design Ribbon that is part of the Design Standard Workspace. The Design Ribbon combines tools that are useful for Design Visualization. This is easier than hunting for them in various areas of the 3ds Max interface.

Using the 3ds Max Search Commands Tool

2015-07-0207:05

In this tutorial, you learn about a command that enables you to find the tools you need by using a simple keyboard shortcut. This can be a great time saver as it prevents you from hunting for commands in various areas of the interface.

Controlling Texture Quality in Viewports

2015-07-0207:41

In this tutorial, you learn to control the quality of viewport feedback, especially when displaying textures and background images.

MCG - Modeling a Baseball

2015-04-1715:58

In this movie, you learn to model a detailed baseball, right down to the seams and stitches, by using two Max Creation Graphs you have learned about in other tutorials on this channel.

MCG - Packaging and Installing

2015-04-1712:44

In this movie, you learn to "package" graphs and dependent files so you can move them from one system to another. You also learn to "install" MCG tools that you collect from other sources and third-party vendors.

MCG - Object Creation

2015-04-1713:35

In this movie, you learn to add your own tools that appear as new objects in the Geometry command panel. The tool that you learn to put together is one you would use to replace children objects in a hierarchy by another scene object that you define.

MCG - Using Compounds

2015-04-1712:40

In this movie, you learn to create compounds to simplify the creation of your graphs. Compounds are essentially sub-graphs, designed to reduce the complexity of a tree structure by combining elements together.

MCG - Creating a Clone Modifier - Part 3

2015-04-1708:55

In this tutorial, you finalize the Clone Modifier by editing its UI, mainly to create groups separating various sections and reordering other parameters.
